Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Followed acceptable guideline and GLP requirements
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 3679 (Determination of flash point - Rapid equilibrium closed cup method)
Version / remarks:
2004
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO No., other: ASTM D-3728-89
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
equilibrium method closed cup
Flash point:
> 145 - < 147 °C
Atm. press.:
101.325 kPa
Remarks on result:
other: The flash point temperature was corrected to a pressure of 101.325 kPa using the equation FP = C +0.23 (101.325 -B) where FP was the corrected flash point, C was the observed flash point, and B was the ambient atmospheric pressure in kPa

Conclusions:
The flash point was determined by using a closed cup equilibrium method, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A9 “Flash Point” of Commission (EC) No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008. The flash point of the test item was determined to be 147 +/- 2 degrees C.
Executive summary:

The flash point was determined by using a closed cup equilibrium method, using a procedure designed to be compatible with Method A9 “Flash Point” of Commission (EC) No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008. The flash point of the test item was determined to be 147 +/- 2 degrees C.
